We have two Accounts Payable accounts. When I create a bill, how can I make sure that it goes to the right AP account? How can I choose which AP account to send it to?

    Unfortunately, you can't.  QB Online only allows you to post to the default A/P account.  You can journal entry from the default A/P account to another one, but that's a PITA.  This is a shortcoming of QBO and why, IMO, QB Desktop is a superior product.  QB Desktop allows you to choose the A/P account you want to post to.

    Thanks! I had a feeling this might be the case after two QBO support reps were not able to answer the question and spent over 1 hour each basically going in circles. It's good to have it confirmed. I think this is an odd shortcoming for QBO to have, I would have thought this is something basic.
